Jiang Cheng added: "Lend me your dog."

Jin Ling came back to his senses from his daze and hesitated for a moment. Jiang Cheng's two sharp eyes swept over, and he blew a whistle. The black-maned spirit dog leaped over in three steps. Wei Wuxian's whole body was as stiff as a piece of iron, and he could only let the man drag him with one hand, step by step.

Jiang Cheng found an empty room and threw Wei Wuxian in. The door closed behind him, and the black-maned dog followed in and sat by the door. Wei Wuxian stared at it closely, preparing for it to pounce on him the next moment. Thinking back to how he had been controlled by someone in the short period of time just now, he thought that Jiang Cheng knew exactly how to deal with him.

Jiang Cheng slowly sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

There was silence for a long while. He hadn't even taken a sip of the steaming hot tea when he suddenly threw it to the ground.

Jiang Cheng pulled the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "You—don't you have anything to say to me?"

Since childhood, Jiang Cheng had seen Wei Wuxian's vicious behavior of running wildly in front of a dog's mouth countless times. It was okay to be stubborn to others, but he couldn't argue with this person who knew him so well. This was a more difficult level than the purple lightning body inspection.

Wei WuXian said sincerely, “I don’t know what to say to you.”

Jiang Cheng said softly: "You really don't know how to repent."

w·w·wl·u·o·x·i·ac·o·m/m·o·d·a·o·z·u·s·h·i/ Demon·Taoism·Ancestor·Master·Novel

In their past conversations, they often sabotaged each other and exchanged sarcastic remarks. Wei WuXian said without hesitation, “You are also the same and have made no progress.”

Jiang Cheng laughed in anger: "Okay, then let's see who is the one who has made no progress at all."

He sat motionless at the table and shouted, and the black-maned spirit dog immediately stood up!

Being in the same room with the dog made Wei Wuxian sweat all over. Seeing this vicious dog, which was half a man's height, with exposed fangs, sharp ears and eyes, approaching him in an instant, his ears were filled with its low roar, and he felt numb from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He could not remember many things about his wanderings as a child. The only thing he remembered was the panic of being chased all the way and the excruciating pain of the canine's teeth and claws piercing his flesh. The fear buried deep in his heart at that time could not be overcome or faded no matter what.

Suddenly, Jiang Cheng looked sideways and asked, "Who are you calling?"

Wei Wuxian's soul was completely lost, and he had no idea whether he had called anyone just now. It was not until Jiang Cheng repelled the black-maned spirit dog that he came back to his senses. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned his head away. Jiang Cheng left his seat. There was a horse whip inserted diagonally at his waist. He put his hand on it and leaned over to look at Wei Wuxian's face. After a pause, he stood up and said, "Come to think of it, I forgot to ask you, when did you become so close to Lan Wangji?"

Wei WuXian immediately understood whose name he had accidentally blurted out just now.

Jiang Cheng smiled grimly and said, "Last time at Dafan Mountain, he went to such lengths to protect you. I really wonder why."

After a moment, he changed his words, "No. Lan Wangji may not be protecting you. After all, the Gusu Lan Sect will not forget what good things you did with your loyal dog. How could he, a dignified and upright person praised by everyone, tolerate you? Maybe he has some relationship with this body you stole."

His words were harsh and vicious, and every sentence seemed to praise him but was actually a criticism, with a hidden meaning. Wei WuXian couldn't listen any more and said, "Watch your words."

Jiang Cheng said: "I never paid attention to this, don't you remember?"

Wei WuXian scoffed, “That’s true.”

Jiang Cheng snorted, "You have the nerve to ask me to be careful with my words. Do you remember, last time at Dafan Mountain, did you watch your words with Jin Ling?"

Wei Wuxian 's expression froze.

Jiang Cheng turned the tables, his expression became cheerful again, and he sneered, "'Born by a mother but not raised by a mother', you scolded him well, you really know how to scold. Jin Ling was criticized like this today, all because of you. You are a noble man who forgets things easily, you forget what you said, you forget the oaths you made, but don't forget how his parents died!"

Wei WuXian raised his head suddenly: “I haven’t forgotten! I just…”

After "just", I don't know what to say next.

Jiang Cheng said, "Just what? Can't tell? It doesn't matter, you can go back to Lotus Pier, kneel in front of my parents' spirits, and speak slowly."

Wei Wuxian calmed his mind and thought quickly, thinking of a way to escape. Although he dreamed of returning to Lotus Pier, he didn't want to return to the Lotus Pier that had been completely changed!

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps approaching, and the door was slammed. Jin Ling shouted from outside: "Uncle!"

Jiang Cheng raised his voice and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay still? Why are you here?"

Jin Ling said: "Uncle, I have something very important to tell you."

Jiang Cheng asked, "What important thing did you just scold you for not telling me? Why do you have to tell me now?"

Jin Ling said angrily: "It's because you kept scolding me just now that I didn't say anything! Do you want to listen or not? If not, I won't say anything!"

Jiang Cheng opened the door with an angry look on his face and said, "Say it now and get out!"

The wooden door opened and Jin Ling stepped in. He had changed into a new white school uniform and said, "I did run into something very tricky today. I think I met Wen Ning!"

Jiang Cheng's eyebrows twitched, and his hand suddenly pressed on the sword, his expression solemn: "When? Where!"

Jin Ling said, "It happened this afternoon. About a few dozen miles to the south, there is a dilapidated house. I went there because I heard there were strange phenomena there, but who knew there was a murderous corpse hidden inside."

Jin Ling spoke in a serious tone, but Wei Wuxian could hear every word as nonsense. He knew best where Jin Ling was this afternoon. And once Wen Ning was in hiding, it would be difficult for a junior to find his whereabouts unless he took the initiative to call him.

Jiang Cheng said: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Jin Ling said, "I can't be sure. The corpse moved very fast. He ran away as soon as I entered. I only saw a blurry back. But I heard the sound of the iron chain on him last time in Dafan Mountain, so I guessed it might be him. If you didn't scold me, I would have told you as soon as I came back. If he runs away now and you don't catch him, it's your own bad temper, not mine." He wanted to look inside, but Jiang Cheng was so angry that he slammed the door in front of him and said through the door, "I'll settle the score with you later, get out!"

Jin Ling said "Oh" and the footsteps faded away. Seeing Jiang Cheng turning around, Wei Wuxian hurriedly made a complex expression that was a mixture of "shocked", "secret exposed", and "what to do, Wen Ning was discovered". Jin Ling was quite smart. He knew that Jiang Cheng hated Wen Ning the most, so he lied on the spot and said it very smoothly. Jiang Cheng knew that the Yiling Patriarch and the Ghost General often went together to cause trouble. He originally suspected that Wen Ning was nearby. After listening to Jin Ling's words, he believed it 60% in his heart. With Wei Wuxian's cooperative expression, he believed it another 20%. Moreover, he was furious when he heard Wen Ning's name. He was so angry that he had no time to doubt. His chest was about to burst with anger. He raised the whip and lashed it on the ground next to Wei Wuxian, hating it very much: "You really take this obedient dog with you everywhere!"

Wei WuXian said: “He is already dead. I have died once too. What else do you want?”

Jiang Cheng pointed at him with his whip and said, "What? Even if he dies a thousand times or ten thousand times, it won't make me feel so angry! He failed to kill me back then, very good! Today I will kill him myself. I will burn him right now and scatter his bones and ashes in front of you!"

He slammed the door and walked away, then went to the hall and told Jin Ling: "Keep an eye on the man inside. Don't believe or listen to anything he says! Don't let him make any sound. If he dares to blow the whistle or the flute, stop his mouth first. If that doesn't work, just chop off his hands and cut off his tongue!"

Wei Wuxian knew that Jiang Cheng said these words to him on purpose, threatening him not to do anything tricky, and not bringing him along was to warn him that he might take the opportunity to manipulate Wen Ning. Jin Ling said nonchalantly, "I know. Can't I keep an eye on a person? Uncle, why are you locked up with that dead homosexual? What did he do?" Jiang Cheng said, "This is not something you should ask. Remember to keep an eye on him. If you don't see him again, I will break your legs!" He asked a few more questions about the specific location, took half of the people with him, and went to chase the non-existent Wen Ning.

After waiting for a while, Jin Ling's arrogant voice came: "You go over there. You, go and guard the side. You stand at the gate, I will go in to meet him."

The disciples did not dare to disobey and responded one by one. After a moment, the door was opened and Jin Ling poked his head in, his eyes rolling. Wei Wuxian sat up, raised a finger to his lips, walked in gently, put his hand on the purple lightning, and whispered something.

The purple lightning recognized its master. Jiang Cheng should have recognized Jin Ling as its master. The electric current was instantly retracted and turned into a silver ring decorated with amethyst, which fell into Jin Ling's white palm.

Jin Ling whispered, "Let's go."

The disciples of Yunmeng Jiang Sect were all scattered by his pointing, and the two of them tiptoed out of the window and climbed over the wall. After leaving the inn, they ran away silently. When they ran into a forest, Wei Wuxian heard a strange sound behind him. He turned around and looked, his heart was broken: "Why is it following me?! Tell it to go away!"

Jin Ling whistled twice, and the black-maned spirit dog laughed, stuck out its long tongue, whined, twitched its pointed ears, and ran away dejectedly. He said contemptuously, "What a loser. Fairies never bite people, they just look ferocious. This is a strictly trained spirit dog that only bites evil spirits. Do you think it's an ordinary dog?"

Wei WuXian: “Stop. What do you call it?”

Jin Ling: "Fairy. Its name."

Wei WuXian: “You gave your dog a name like that?!”

Jin Ling said confidently: "What's wrong with this name? When it was little, it was called Little Fairy. I can't call it that when it grows up."

Wei Wuxian refused: "No, no, no, the problem is not about small or big! - Who did you learn this way of naming from?!" Needless to say, it must be his uncle. Jiang Cheng also raised a few puppies in the past, and they were all named "Jasmine", "Fei Fei", "Xiao Ai" and other names that sounded like the names of famous generals in the brothels. Jin Ling said: "Men should not be fussy about trivial matters, why are you entangled in this! All right! Stop, you have offended my uncle, and you must lose half your life. Now I let you go, we are even."

Wei WuXian asked, “Do you know why your uncle wanted to arrest me?”

Jin Ling said: “I know. He suspects you are Wei Wuxian.”

Wei WuXian thought, “This time it’s not just ‘suspicion’, he has caught the right person.” He then asked, “What about you? You don’t have any doubts?”

Jin Ling said: "It's not the first time that my uncle has done this. He would rather catch the wrong person than let him go. But since Zidian can't extract your soul, I will assume that you are not one. Besides, the man surnamed Wei is not a homosexual, but you, actually dare to pester me..."

He didn't say who he was harassing. He stopped talking with a look of disgust on his face and made a gesture of fanning the plague god away: "Anyway, you have nothing to do with the Lanling Jin Sect from now on! If you have a seizure, don't look for anyone in my family! Otherwise, I won't forgive you!"

After saying that, Jin Ling turned around and walked away. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for my uncle to catch you? I'm telling you, don't think that I will be grateful to you for saving me, and don't expect me to say something disgusting to you."

Wei WuXian walked up with his hands behind his back: “Young man, in this life, there are two corny things you must say.”

Jin Ling asked: "Which two sentences?"

Wei WuXian said, “‘Thank you’, and ‘I’m sorry’.”

Jin Ling sneered: "I won't tell you, who can do anything to me?"

Wei WuXian said: “One day you will cry and tell it.”

Jin Ling made a “Pah” sound, and Wei Wuxian suddenly said, “I’m sorry.”

Jin Ling was startled: "What?"

Wei WuXian said, “I’m sorry for what I said to you on Mount Dafan.”

It wasn't the first time that Jin Ling was scolded as "born by a mother but not raised by her", but he had never been apologized to so solemnly. He didn't know what it felt like to be hit in the face with such a "sorry", and he actually felt uncomfortable all over.

He waved his hands wildly for a while and snorted, "It's nothing. You're not the first person to say that. I'm indeed a motherless person. But, that doesn't make me any worse than anyone else! On the contrary, I want you all to open your eyes and see clearly that I'm much better than you all!"

Wei WuXian smiled faintly and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed and he said in astonishment: “Jiang Cheng? You!”

Jin Ling stole Zidian and let the person run away. He was already feeling guilty. When he heard the name, he turned around to look. Wei Wuxian took the opportunity to chop his neck with a knife. He laid Jin Ling flat on the ground, pulled up his trouser legs, and checked the evil curse marks on his legs. He tried a few methods, but couldn't make it fade. He knew it was a difficult problem. After a while, he sighed.

However, although he could not resolve some evil curse marks, he could transfer them to himself.

Jin Ling woke up after a while. He touched his neck and still felt the pain. He was so angry that he drew his sword and jumped up: "How dare you hit me? Even my uncle has never hit me!"

Wei WuXian was surprised: “Really? Didn’t he often say he wanted to break your legs?”

Jin Ling said angrily: "He was just talking! You damned homosexual, what on earth do you want to do? I..."

Wei WuXian held his head and shouted behind him, “Ah! HanGuang-Jun!”

Jin Ling was more afraid of Lan Wangji than his uncle. After all, his uncle was his own, while Han Guang-Jun was someone else's. He was so frightened that he turned and ran, shouting as he ran: "You damn gay! Damn lunatic! I'll remember this! This is not over!"

Wei Wuxian was laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe behind him. When Jin Ling ran out of sight, his chest felt stuffy and itchy. He coughed for a while, and his laughter gradually stopped with difficulty. Only then did he have time to think about something.

Wei Wuxian was brought back by Jiang Fengmian when he was nine years old.

Some of his memories from that time were already blurry, but Jin Ling's mother Jiang Yanli remembered them all and told him a lot of them.

She said that after her father learned that his parents had been defeated and died in battle, he had been looking for the descendants of the old friend. After searching for a long time, he finally found the child in the Yiling area. When he first saw him, he was kneeling on the ground picking up fruit peels thrown by others.

Yiling is very cold in winter and spring. The child was only wearing a single layer of thin clothes and pants, with the knees worn out and two different shoes that didn't fit. He was looking for fruit peels, and Jiang Fengmian called him. He still remembered that there was a "Ying" in his name, so he raised his head. When he raised his head, his cheeks were red and cracked from the cold, but he was smiling.

Jiang Yanli said that he was born with a smiling face. He would never take any sadness to heart. He could be happy no matter what situation he was in. It sounded a bit heartless, but it was good.

Jiang Fengmian fed him a piece of melon, and he asked Jiang Fengmian to take him back. At that time, Jiang Cheng was only eight or nine years old, and he had a few puppies to play with him in the Lotus Pier. Jiang Fengmian found that Wei Wuxian was very afraid of dogs, so he gently asked Jiang Cheng to send the puppies away. Jiang Cheng was very unhappy, and he lost his temper, threw things, made a face, cried and made a scene, and finally sent the dogs away.

Although he was hostile to Wei Wuxian for a long time because of this, after the two became familiar with each other, they went out together to cause trouble everywhere. Whenever he met a dog, Jiang Cheng would help him drive it away, and then laugh at Wei Wuxian who jumped to the top of a tree.

He had always thought that Jiang Cheng would stand on his side, while Lan Wangji would stand on the opposite side. Unexpectedly, the facts were completely reversed.

Wei Wuxian slowly walked to the meeting place he had agreed to meet with Lan Wangji. The lights were dim and no one was walking at night. He didn't need to look around, because the figure in white was standing at the end of the long street, head slightly lowered, motionless.

Before Wei Wuxian could even say hello, Lan Wangji looked up and saw him. After a moment of confrontation, he calmly walked towards him.

For some reason, Wei WuXian involuntarily took a step back.

He seemed to see bright red bloodshot in Lan Wangji's eyes. It must be said... Lan Wangji's expression was indeed somewhat scary.
